Follow-up interview on 04/23/25 at 4:13 P.M. with the DON revealed LPN #842 was the nurse on duty and she reported she was not aware of any residents missing their scheduled dialysis appointments. DON provided unsigned dialysis sheets located in Resident #84 paper chart that were already reviewed, confirmed, and verified prior by the state surveyor and DRN #500 as invalid. DON was unable to identify the CNA on duty at the time of Resident #84 missed appointment. DON confirmed and verified the above findings during the interview. Interview on 04/23/25 at 4:30 P.M. was attempted with LPN #842 but was unsuccessful. Review of the Dialysis agreement dated 04/01/21, revealed the facility had the sole responsibility for transporting dialysis patients to and from the dialysis treatment den within the nursing facility at the scheduled times. Review of the Dialysis agreement revealed if a patient was more than 30 minutes late for an appointment or missed an appointment due to lack of transportation, Davita staff would determine if it was safe to treat at that time or required to reschedule due to safety concerns. This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00163704.
